Monterey County Gives 2023

Monterey County Gives! is a year-end campaign that inspires local philanthropy and benefits a wide array of Monterey County nonprofits.

The Monterey County Gives! campaign amplifies year end giving by providing 100% of donations plus a partial match to the donors’ choice of participating nonprofits. 

For the Monterey County Weekly’s annual MCGives! campaign Interim, Inc. is raising funds to support our homeless outreach client services, including emergency overnight motel stays, emergency dental care, toiletries, and grooming services (showers, haircuts).

The 2023 MCGIVES! Campaign begins November 9 and runs through midnight December 31, 2023.

BUILDING PATHWAYS HOME

Housing the homeless requires a multi-faceted approach to create lasting outcomes, which means treating the whole person, not just their immediate circumstances. Interim, Inc. provides outreach for adults with a psychiatric disability who are homeless or at high risk of becoming homeless. The goal is to assist individuals to move off the street and into housing and employment. This is accomplished with outreach, assessments, intensive case management services, mental health services, and assistance with daily living skills.

Help us BUILD MORE PATHWAYS HOME. Donating to the MCGives annual campaign this year will maximize your impact with a match, which was approximately 8% last year.

LIFE ALTERING TRANSFORMATIONS

Walter was enrolled into Interim’s MCHOME homeless outreach program in October of 2019. At the time, Walter was living in a homeless encampment just outside of Marina. With support from MCHOME, Walter navigated multiple programs, including residential substance use treatment and transitional living. Walter has been living in his own apartment since November 2020.

“I’ve learned how to be more responsible for my actions… I was a drug addict, alcoholic and angry at the whole world…My attitude had to change, my way of thinking had to change… I have been trying to be the best version of myself that I can be.”
